“Brewers players and fans have responded to the call that Mark and Debbie Attanasio made to give back to the community,” Gore said. “Our financial support generates needed dollars to support critical issues throughout Greater Milwaukee, and we are very impressed by the nonprofit organizations that are achieving positive outcomes.”

In addition, BCF and the Brewers Community Relations department has donated more than 12,000 items for auctions over the past year.

Through Brewers Community Foundation, Mark and Debbie Attanasio continue with their pledge to serve as leaders in the community. Brewers Community Foundation harnesses the pride, passion and commitment of Brewers fans, players and other supporters to positively impact the lives of children and their families in Greater Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
